1. Coolant reservoir cap3. If the coolant is at or below the mini-
mum level mark, remove panel B
and the reservoir cap. (See page 6-
5.) WARNING! Remove only the
coolant reservoir cap. Never at-
tempt to remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot.
[EWA15161]
4. Add coolant or distilled water to
raise the coolant to the maximum
level mark, and install the coolant
reservoir cap and the panel.
NOTICE:
If coolant is not avail-
able, use distilled water or soft
tap water instead. Do not use hard
water or salt water since it isharmful to the engine. If water
has been used instead of cool-
ant, replace it with coolant as
soon as possible, otherwise the
cooling system will not be pro-
tected against frost and corro-
sion. If water has been added to
the coolant, have a Yamaha
dealer check the antifreeze con-
tent of the coolant as soon as
possible, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.

Replacing the air filter ele-
mentThe air filter element must be replaced
and the check hoses must be cleaned
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. Have
a Yamaha dealer replace the air filter el-

Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.

WARNING
8 88 8
8Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
8 88 8
8Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the
detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap
while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolant
as soon as possible.
